Quick answer
Looking for a Centriq alternative?
Centriq, the home records app, shut down on January 31, 2026. If you used it for appliance manuals, model numbers, and warranties, your options include Homer, which calls itself Centriq's successor app, and Homekeepr, which rebuilds the record from photos of your equipment and your inspection report.
What happened
What happened to Centriq?
Centriq's shutdown notice to users said it would cease operations as of January 31, 2026, and that all versions of the platform would be retired (quoted on AlternativeTo). Homer's About page confirms that Centriq ceased operations in January 2026.

What you need
What Centriq did, and what you need in a replacement
Centriq let you photograph a product label, identified the product, and gathered its manual, troubleshooting guides, parts information, and how-to videos, with a place for receipts and warranties. A replacement should do the same core job:
- Identify equipment from a photo of its label.
- Keep manuals, warranties, and receipts with each item.
- Turn what you own into maintenance reminders and a plan.
- Work on the phones your household uses.
Rebuild
How to rebuild your home records after Centriq
Photograph every rating plate
Water heater, furnace, air conditioner, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Get the whole label, with the model and serial number, in frame.
Collect manuals and receipts
Download manuals from the manufacturer's site, and gather receipts and warranty cards from email and drawers.
Add your inspection report
If you have one, the report lists the home's systems, their condition, and what needs attention.
Put it in one place
Choose one app and add everything there, so the next repair starts with the full history.
Our guide to finding your water heater's age from its label shows what a good rating-plate photo captures.

Manuals and warranties stay with each item, and everything feeds one living plan for your home.
